Have you ever seen crazy people talking good? I mean, I love the way Patrick Bateman delivers this dialogue in the movie American Psycho “We have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people” The example I just gave beautifully portrays the current intentions of this devilish duo from Peshawar who have embarked on a journey of spreading the message of peace through their rap music for which they became genuine listeners first by taking off their shoes and standing in another’s to see the world the way they see it and feel as they feel. Let’s get to know The 2 Dee’s.
